Once upon a time only emperors and lottery winners were in the market for solid gold bathroom taps. Luxury brand THG Paris wants to cast that net wider, offering a less pricey (though still extravagant) selection of 24ct rose gold-plated pieces. Its ‘Collection O’ range shows off the beautiful colour in the best way possible. Single-lever basin mixer, £1324; towel ring, £223. (Prices are excluding VAT). www.bathroomsint.com
